Solving manufacturing problems through rotary broaching

Most people think of conventional ‘step broaching’ when the term broaching is used in manufacturing. Stop, and starting thinking about ‘rotary broaching.’


Clinton Township, Michigan – When the term broaching is used in the manufacturing industry, most think of conventional step broaching, which involves pushing or pulling a toothed bar through a part on a press. It’s a method that has been around since the beginning of (manufacturing) time. The problem with conventional broaching is that it has application limitations and cost/efficiency drawbacks. For example, conventional broaches can only be used in through-hole applications and must be performed as a secondary operation on a press. Also, costs and manufacturing lead times for conventional step broaches can be exorbitant. A newer manufacturing method called rotary broaching addresses these problems and can outperform conventional broaching in these areas.
